The Chicagoland Watch List is the focus of Landmarks Illinois' advocacy efforts in the Chicago metropolitan area during
2009-10. It is intended as a complement to Landmarks Illinois' "Ten Most Endangered
Historic Places in Illinois", a statewide list announced each March at
the State Capitol in Springfield.

This list represents a wide range of issues facing historic structures
today—threats such as a road widening project’s potential impact on a rural
community’s character to a lack of effective municipal ordinances.
